In its reaction, the APC described its victory in Saturday’s House of Assembly election as a clear, emphatic statement of the people in Osun that they want good governance to continue in the state.”
In a congratulatory message to the electorate and the entire people of the state, signed by the party’s director of publicity, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi, the APC described its success at the polls as “a clear victory for the people.”
According to the party, what the majority of our people have indicated is that, “it makes sense to continue with what had been happening in the state since 2010.
“This is more so because the successor of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, (Governor Gboyega Oyetola), was himself at the core of implementation of APC development agenda right from the beginning.
“And Oyetola’s first moves since he took over three months ago as Governor have been positively symbolic of what to expect.
“So, continuity is secured, further progress is guaranteed and the future promises to be even brighter with such a seamless transfer of power from one to the other administration in the State of Osun”, the APC said.
The party said that the present governor stands a better chance of improving on the quality of policy making and implementation.
